Chris and Jane (https://copyrightliteracy.org/) talk to incoming President of the American Library Association Emily Drabinski about critical librarianship and its relationship with copyright literacy. We hear about Emily's journey to library leadership, how she first encountered copyright questions, her plans for engaging with the library community and some weird facts about books. We also get to hear the song she commissioned to soundtrack her forthcoming presidency.
